Among the best top of the line headphones in the market.
I been hearing lots of praise for the mdr-z1r and now that I have my own I believe it definitely deserves it. The mdr-z1r are extremely well constructed and designed with absolutely no creaking and at least for my head the headband is just the right tension that works together with the deep molded earpads that soft in a way that It seals around your ear but it's firm enough to maintain its shape keeping my ears from making contact with the drivers, making these the most comfortable headphones I worn yet. For this section I may not know the correct technical audiophile terms to describe the mdr-z1r's performance and you can get a better description from other reviewers here, but I can probably describe the z1r better by comparison with other headphones I have, for example: Mdr-1am2, good build quality and light as a feather but earcups are shallow and sometimes it creaks a bit, sound profile is v shaped with more emphasis on the highs compared to the z1r but somewhat less subbass and very narrow soundstage which is expected for a typical close back of its price range. Mdr-z7m2, this one is very comparable in build quality and comfort and having that wide soundstage but the sound profile while still v shaped and detailed it's kinda dull across the board especially when compared to the 1am2. It's like if the z1r was to split into two separate headphones with the z7m2 having the build quality and the soundstage while the 1am2 keeps the exciting sound profile. That concludes my review of the mdr-z1r and I hope this gives you a better idea if you happen to own either of those headphones in the comparison.

The Reference Standard (Closed-Back) Headphones
Headphones...like all audio devices/equipment...have their own unique sound signature. Some will find the Sony MDR-Z1R to their linking, few won’t. What’s undeniable is that from the presentation, unboxing and feeling in your hands and on your head, it’s easy to see that this is truly a flagship product. You can tell Sony held nothing back in terms of giving its designers and engineers free reign to create their dream headphone...and in my eyes and hands, they’ve truly delivered. But what about sound? Here is where you will find the never ending debate come to a head (pardon the pun): Closed-back vs. Open-Back designs. If you prefer an open-back sound, there probably isn’t anything the Sony can do to sway you from the absolute best open-back cans. However, the Z1R’s have the widest, deepest soundstage I’ve ever heard from a closed design as well as presenting well recorded music with all the air and layering you would only expect from a really good open-back. And, due to the closed-back, you get an amazing amount of bass that’s always in control, with a full sense of depth and tightness, never boomy or muddy. They also have a great amount of isolation from the outside world. FWIW, I mostly use my Z1R’s with my Sony NW-ZX2 Hi-Res player and on my laptops & iPad Air with the incredible THX Onyx DAC/headphone amplifier. Material is Tidal (CD and MQA quality) streaming and stored high-res FLAC and DSD files. All in, these are undoubtedly the best closed-back headphones in the world, with reference-levels of sound quality and amazing build quality to boot. If you value the sonic signature and other qualities that a closed-back headphone brings...bass presence and authority, tempo, control and isolation are areas the Sony excels in...then you probably can’t go wrong with the Z1R’s. They are hugely expensive, yes, but the best is rarely ever cheap.

Very Good Headphone Cables
They are very good headphones. I replaced the headphone cables with better aftermarket cables and noticed a substantial improvement in audio quality. I recommend doing so.

Wow! Incredible!
These Sony MDR-Z1R headphones are simply incredible! I am using them with the Sony NW-WM1A Walkman. These are more than what one would call “detailed”. These make music come alive to the point that the materials the instruments are made of can be heard and felt....Wooden instruments sound like wood, metal strings sound like metal, the friction of the hairs of a violin bow against the metal strings can be felt, synthetic drum heads can be distinguished from animal skin ones, vocals sound human. These go beyond accuracy, instrument separation, imaging, sound stage, etc. and actually “create” the music. As a musician I can say I have not yet heard any headphones as good as these or like these at any price. These are a conduit to the musicians on the other end. They also achieve this even while listening at very low volumes which is pretty amazing and are also outstandingly comfortable and light weight too. These headphones should be considered musical instruments in themselves. Bravo, Sony!

PC→IFI audio NEO iDSD2→付随のケーブルでバランス接続→本機にて使用 ロック、ポップス、ジャズ、フュージョン、クラシック等を聴きます。 もし『ヘッドホンの世界史』というものがあったなら、 その教科書には必ず記載されるであろう日本の傑作機です。 現代においても本機の輝きは全く失われていません。 ソニーが主張する"空気感"は、劇場やホール、ライブ会場、あるいはリスニングルーム等に身を置いて、 全身で音楽を聴いているような、そういう雰囲気を芸術的に作り上げる革新的な要素だと思います。 それは所謂”広い音場感”といったものとは全く別物に思えます。 ある意味でヘッドホンらしからぬ音作りで、 耳元でクッキリ高精細な音が鳴るというようなタイプのヘッドホンではなく、 聞けば聞くほど、上手く練りに練った音響調整だなあと感心してしまうようなタイプのヘッドホンです。 キンバーケーブル(MUC-B20SB2)も保有していますが、 リケーブルすると全体的にプレゼンスが増して音像が前へ迫ってくるようになります。 一聴して美音と分かるような音になり、ある意味でヘッドホンらしい音の出方になりますので、 こちらの方が好みだという人も多いかと思います。 個人的には付随のケーブルで発揮される”空気感”が本機の唯一無二の”凄み”であると感じているため、 普段は、もっぱら付属のケーブルでバランス接続して楽しんでおります。 じっくりと気長に、色々な音源を聴いてみてください。 本当によく練られたヘッドホンだと段々気づいてくるはずです。 本当に買ってよかったです。 ソニーの有線ヘッドホンラインナップであるMDR型番は、 今やプロ向けラインでの発表でしか目立った新製品が見られず、 コンシューマー向けとしては無線ヘッドホンのWH型番の製品開発が優先されているように思われます。 そういう時流を見ているとソニーの有線ヘッドホンのフラグシップ機として 本機が最後になることさえ想像され、生産完了前に入手しておくことに 一つの歴史的価値さえ感じる、そういう製品だと思います。 本機は正に、ヘッドホン史におけるマスターピースの一つだと思います。

WALKMANのハイエンドモデル購入を機にヘッドフォンもと思い、 まずはSONYのBTノイキャンモデルを購入。 最近のヘッドフォンの質の高さを実感し、それではと本機を購入。 なるほど実にしっかりした音質で鳴る。バランス接続の効果かデジタルだからか音像も明確である。 肌や身体で感じ取る振動がないことを除けば、高級ホームオーディオで浸れる音楽の世界がある。 既存の音源に隠れていたニュアンスを改めて感じた時、実に楽しいというか嬉しくなる。 ヘッドフォンを消耗品としてみれば高価な買い物ではあるが、 音響の入口から出口まで全てモバイルで揃えられるのだから価値ありだと思う。

HD800S,HD800, T1 等いろいろ持ってますが、それでもZ1Rは格別です。欠点は特にないです!HD800ほど広くないが、密閉にしては素晴らしいといっても過言ではないと思います。HD800は確かにソニー以上の情報量を表現出来ますが、綺麗に鳴らす為HD800以上の価格のアンプが必要です。Z1Rはスマホに直接つないでも不満はない! HD800とくらべれば Z1Rは ★よりインパクトのある低音 ★よりリアルな音場(IMAXシアターにいるみたい) ★より3D音に感じる ★より高級感を感じる素材で出来てる本体と化粧箱 ★より優しい高域 ★より賢いなイヤーパッドとケーブル交換手順 HD800S/HD800の方は ☆より広い音場(ライブオーケストラ館みたい) ☆より鮮やかな細かい音を提供し ☆より軽量、長時間に着けて優しい成形 ☆より音楽を選ぶ専門家的なヘッドホン ☆より空気管の余裕を感じる音 ☆より頭に軽く感じる 最後はジャンルまとめ: Z1Rは ロック............★★★ POP................★★★★★ クラシック....★★★★ サウンドトラ★★★★ ジャズ............★★★★★ HD800/S ロック............★★ POP................★★ クラシック....★★★★★★ サウンドトラ★★★★★ ジャズ............★★★★ 参考になれたら。僕はHD800、HD800SとZ1Rを愛用してます。
